第1题
People find that like humans chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use "tools": they strip twigs (小树枝) and use them to take out termites(白蚁) from their nests. The chimpanzees and the termites both live in social groups. Chimpanzee females live on individual home ranges within a territory that is defended by a group of related males. Termites live in a colony with three classes: queen, workers and soldiers. Chimpanzees can be trained to respond in accordance with different symbolic gestures.
So if we can build power stations, why can't chimpanzees？ A major reason is that they lack a laryrx(喉) and a mouth that make it possible to pronounce clearly and distinctly a wide range of distinguishable sounds. Without these they are doomed to making little progress. One can scarcely imagine us building and operating power stations or implementing a system of justice as intricate as ours without us having an extremely complex system of communication like that provided by our speech. Far simpler tasks require language., language for learning, language for planning, language for co-operation. Without speech it is, indeed, difficult to refer to anything that is removed from us in space and time, anything that we cannot point to here and now. This becomes clear as soon as you try to arrange to meet a friend outside the town hall at seven o'clock without saying or writing anything.
Language allows human beings to learn and adapt to changing circumstances far more quickly than would be achieved by evolution. A word of warning passed from father to son is a much more direct and efficient way of adapting the species to its environment than is a process of natural selection. Human language is infinitely versatile. Honey-bees have a remarkable way of letting others know the direction in which a source of food lies and how far away it is by means of a "dance". But they could not begin to discuss the merits of other foodstuffs or alternative ways of constructing their homes.
Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that______.
A．animals can be very clever
B．the difference between chimpanzees and termites can be very small
C．chimpanzees and the human beings are very much alike
D．the human race is not unique in exhibiting some features of the way of life

D．We will certainly receive the messages sent to us by other intelligent beings.
第3题
听力原文： When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows about what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find ont all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed, he just turns to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special way to look at life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it. If you look at children, you'll see great differences between what we call "bright" children and "not bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life--he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. This leads us to feel mysterious about how to determine what intelligence is.

A．It is the ability to get high scores on some tests.
B．It is the ability to do well in school.
C．It is the ability to deal with life.
D．It is a child's ability to dream.

The Cold Places
The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.
Like Antarctica， the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading——125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero~ Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in both the Arctic and Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.
One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature——the killing chili of far North and the polar South.
To survive， men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not ever for a moment can they be unprotected "against the below-zero temperatures.
Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coatsand furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.
What albout animals？ Can they survive？ Do we find plants？ Do we find life in the Arctic andin Antarctica？ Yes， we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.
Antarctica， as we have seen， is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case.
Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have much like our own.
Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.
The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded in Antarctica. 查看材料

How to Be an Employee
Most of you graduating today will be employees all your working life, working for somebody else and for a paycheck. And so will most, if net all, of the thousands of other young Americans graduating this year in all the other schools and colleges across the country.
Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i.e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And whereas fifty years ago "being employed" meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: the middle and upper classes have become employees, and middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest growing groups in our working population—growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.
This is one of the most profound social changes any country has ever undergone. It is, however, a perhaps even greater change for the individual young man about to start. Whatever he does, in all likelihood he will do it as an employee; wherever he aims, he will have to try to reach it through being an employee.
Yet you will find little if there is anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of advice on work in a chosen field, whether it be metallurgy(冶金学) or salesmanship, the machinist's trade or bookkeeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical competence or professional knowledge.
Being an employee is thus the one common characteristic of most careers today. The special profession or skill is visible and clearly defined, and a well-laid-out sequence of courses, degrees, and jobs leads into it. But being an employee is the foundation. And it is much more difficult to prepare for it. Yet there is no recorded information on the art of being an employee.
The first question we might ask is: what can you learn in college that will help you in being an employee？ The schools teach a great many things of value to the future accountant, the future doctor, or the future electrician. Do they also teach anything of value to the future employee？ The answer is: "Yes—they teach the one thing that is perhaps most valuable for the future employee to know. But very few students bother to learn it."
This one basic skill is the ability to organize and express ideas in writing and in speaking.
As an employee you work with and through other people. This means that your success as an employee will depend on your ability to communicate with people and to present your own thoughts and ideas to them so they will both understand what you are driving at and be persuaded. The letter, the report or memorandum, the ten-minute spoken "presentation" to a committee are basic tools of the employee.
